PROTOTYPING 2-Prototyping-Dimension-pla

Think Fast

In the past, making plastic parts required a quantum leap from a few, laboriously made prototypes to full-scale production, but new developments have inserted a few stepping stones into that gap. Innovations in rapid prototyping, along with newer concepts such as rapid tooling, rapid injection molding, and direct-digital manufacturing, have created a continuum of options for churning out plastic parts. How a manufacturer employs that continuum often boils down to two key questions. How many? How fast? But those answers must be considered in the context of cost and part functionality.
